Title: some type of flycatcher at Riverwood today
Post by: Ally on April 08, 2018, 07:49:38 PM

Hi, I was at Riverwood this afternoon, and saw a bird the size of a female cardinal or slightly smaller, with olive head and back and creamy yellow front. Anybody saw anything similar or any idea what might be?  
Thanks, Ally

Eastern Phoebe is the only flycatcher around at this time of year.

Thank you so much. Finally, another type of spring bird for me.
